In conversation: A framework for addressing technology's ethical challenges
Our communities and the world face unprecedented challenges in scaling technologies in an ethical and beneficial way. As one observer noted half a century ago, “technological progress requires ethical progress or we risk the destruction of society.”
VW engineering scandal tarnished other German automakers
The scandal tarnished other German auto manufacturers through their association with Volkswagen, consistent with the notion of a collective reputation.
Biomechanical, seahorse-inspired tail improves human balance and movement
Called Arque, it is inspired by the tail of a seahorse and uses compressed air along with four artificial muscles built into the vertebrae of the tail to move around.
Addressing parts staining in aqueous bath cleaning
Choosing the most cost-effective approach to minimize staining and maximize bath life requires consideration of many variables.
